Sabi Sands

Lion Sands Ivory Lodge

‘Awaken to the Sound of Lions Roaring’

Lion Sands Ivory Lodge is the kind of exquisitely luxurious safari experience that most people can only dream of. Situated close to the Sabie River in the beautiful confines of the Lion Sands game Reserve, Ivory Lodge has it all when it comes to its setting. Panoramic views of the bushveld, close proximity to the wild animals of Africa and sunrises and sunsets to die for. In between heading off into the bush for game drives or bush walks, guests can take advantage of their super-luxurious suites and maybe take a dip in their own private pool as they look out over the African bush.

In Our Opinion

‘New heights of luxury have been reached deep in the African bush. A truly decadent safari experience, perfect for adults who want a touch of the wild with their comfort.’

Dining
There is no designated on-site restaurant in the traditional sense of the word at Lion Sands.  Beautiful home cooked food is served in the homely surroundings of the lodge, at normal meal time intervals. Food will be provided if safaris are taking place over meal times.
